received several goodies from their long voyage from China, and although most of it unimpressive, the IJOY Reaper PLUS stands out among my stable of sub tanks. This has several features that are new to me, and useful, but I have heard it being compared to the Herckles which I do not own. The top and bottom airflow are GREAT, with both wide open you feel little to no resistance and blow some real nice clouds. Close em up and you can have a nice draw for you mouth to lunger's. The juice flow control, I am having a hard time finding a real use for, excluding being ble to close off for filling and even coil changes. Other than those great conveniences, it's the control part that confuses me, I cant tell a difference in my vaper with it wide open or just a quarter, I don't see the reason why everyone wouldn't just keep it open when vaping, the cotton will only hold the juice it can hold..... Maybe someone can school me a little. It also doesn't hurt that this is a very handsome tank with very nice machining and accents.
Nice packaging, comes with extra glass/gaskets/coils/cotton. The factory coils are large, with four vertical juicing holes, mesh spit back protect and triple parallel coils in SS316 .3 and triple parallel in Kanthal .4. I included the drip tip in the pic to illustrate that it isn't just a coated plastic tip, it's a stainless casing with a flexible monomer press fitted inside, which I haven't seen this done before, it does stay cool. The factory coils blow clouds but not a big flavor chaser, but I would care less about factory coils to be honest.
The build deck is a fairly spacious velocity style deck, very well build and sturdy. Was able to cram these 9 wrap twisted 26ga SS/Ni200 duals with little to no issue with positioning. The juice flow control, which is convenient for filling and coil changes, does take value able room which could have been used for a bigger coil/deck area, but it's big enough for some fun builds.
The side fill is perfect, fits even large glass droppers far enough inside to prevent messes, I really like this feature, and it's location is marked by an engraved "drop" symbol. The gasket is super tight, will not be opening in your pocket. Not sure if this was a design feature in the engineering process, or just an interesting anomaly, but when you open the juice fill, the metal ring perfectly seals off the upper airflows......neat.
So that's it, I don't hear this Reaper Plus coming up in conversation much, just wanted to put it out there. I overall am very pleased. It's really got some clever engineering aspects and is well built and sturdy. Wife has already dropped on concrete twice with no damage excluding scratched on drip tip.The flavor is "good" but not outstanding, the clouds can be dense and plentiful with right airflow adjustments. I like the build deck and yes......i think it looks cool. The juice flow can be awkward to adjust with tank on, but after it's tightened, further clockwise motion opens it and unscrewing it, of course closes it, cool that it auto opens and closes with installation and removal from device. Still trying to find a tank that holds to my MuTank, this has great features and is definetly a better quality tank, but the flavor could be better and the deck a little bigger. This will make a great all-day tank though, and it will definitely be one of my wife and I's regulars for work.
